About This Product
The clamp is used to hang a thermometer in a liquid, place a probe over a heat source, or suspend a simple pendulum from a single point. Its fixed offset keeps the hanging instrument clear of the stand rod during school and college heat and mechanics experiments. Enquiries from Tanzania, Côte d'Ivoire, Malta, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Barbados for the Suspension Clamp receive an export quotation.
